The Night Listener
The Night Listener | Armistead Maupin
9 posts | 17 read | 5 to read
"I'm a fabulist by trade," warns Gabriel Noone, a late-night radio storyteller, as he begins to untangle the skeins of his tumultuous life: his crumbling ten-year love affair, his disaffection from his Southern father, his longtime weakness for ignoring reality. Gabriel's most sympathetic listener is Pete Lomax, a thirteen-year-old fan in Wisconsin whose own horrific past has left him wise and generous beyond his years. But when this virtual father-son relationship is rocked by doubt, a desperate search for the truth ensues. Welcome to the complex, vertiginous world of The Night Listener.

I finally got around to reading this even though I‘ve loved the movie so much since it first came out.
I got lucky and found a copy at goodwill that someone had already marked passages in and so I marked some of my own passages and will be loaning it to a friend soon 🖤

3-8-21: My 24th finished book of 2021! Gabriel Noone is a writer with a radio show on NPR. While going through a separation from his lover, he receives the proofs from a new writer, a 13 year old boy named Pete, who suffered abuse from his parents. Pete is a fan of Noone‘s and they begin a friendship via the phone as the boy‘s health declines. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏼📖#️⃣2️⃣4️⃣

rwmg Excellent book. I laughed, I cried. What more can you ask for? 3y

This was a really weird book and I didn't know where the hell it was going. I'm still kind of confused... not about the book, or how it ended, but how to properly review it and how I feel about it. It was definitely interesting, I can say that much. 🤔🤨

Random pick from my shelves. Still trying to trim down those used library sale books from a few years ago. This was one of them. It's said to be kinda Hitchcockian so it could be quite an interesting read

rwmg I've just finished it and really enjoyed it for the main character and the mystery 3y
perfectsinner I feel like it's getting kinda interesting because I don't know where it's going. I'm a bit intrigued. I'm not loving it, but not hating, either. I'm guessing I'll finish just because I want to see where it goes, but I'm not like "oh I can't wait to read more of this!" 3y

I'm not a great fan of books with unreliable narrators, and Gabriel freely admits he is given to embellishing narratives, but I found Gabriel himself so engaging and he struck so many chords with me that I just kept going. My desire to know what had really happened was particularly acute in the part set in Wisconsin but after the ending I really didn't mind not being fully certain.

I didn't see the movie yet, but I think I'll do it soon.
I love Maupin's book! They're so easy to read and neve trivial.
This one in particular has left me with a lot of emotions and a sardonic smile on the face!
Well written and so surprising!

I loved 'Tales of San Francisco' and once I've found DeDe's daughter in this one I screamed!
It's not part of the Barbary Lane's universe, so it was a pleasant easter egg to me! 😍
